Information for Grantees
The following documents relate to the grant agreement between LSDF and grantees and the requirements of grantees under that agreement, including collaboration/intellectual property agreements, milestones and timelines, reimbursement requests, progress reporting, and financial reporting.
- Grant Agreement
This grant agreement template informs grantees, potential applicants and the general public of the standard terms and conditions under which grantees receive LSDF funding. Two template versions are included-one for grantee organizations that are state agencies and one for those that are not.
Specific details regarding the grantee organization and the grantee's project or program are included in the final grant agreements negotiated with the grantee organizations.
- LSDF Sample Grant Agreement (for Project and Commercialization Awards)
- LSDF Sample Grant Agreement (for Program Awards)
- Sample Intellectual Property Agreement
Research and development activities between the grantee and subcontracting or collaborating organizations must be supported by an agreement that, at a minimum, makes explicit provision for the disposition of intellectual property rights among the organizations. If the grantee does not have a standard form for this type of agreement, the attached example can serve as an appropriate agreement for this purpose.
- Milestones and Timelines Construction
Grantees are required to provide milestones, and the timeline for their achievement, with their grant agreement, and this document suggests an acceptable format and style.
The following three documents are provided as content examples only; the actual forms to be used by grantees reside within LSDF's online system.
- Reimbursement Request Form
This is the format grantees are required to use when requesting award disbursements from LSDF.
- Progress
Grantees are required to answer these questions when reporting their activities and progress.
- Annual Financial Report Form
This is the format grantees are required to use when submitting annual financial reports to LSDF.
